Problem description

There is a problem with logrotate where it continually archives the
files in /var/log/news and /var/log/mail whether they are already
archived or not. Because of this, the archives are never removed and
can cause the device to fill up. This update corrects this problem.
Update:
While the logrotate package helped with the problem, it did not
entirely fix it. This updated sysklogd package is also required to
eliminate the problem entirely. Please reference MDKSA-2000:050-1 for
more information on upgrading sysklogd from a security standpoint.
